Akhil Akkineni begins preparation for his next

Akhil Akkineni, who is shooting for Most Eligible Bachelor, is now collaborating with Surender Reddy for a slick action entertainer. According to a source, Akkineni had to undergo an extreme makeover to look the part and as part of the preparation, he enlisted his personal fitness trainer, Mustafa Radhieka Ahmed, to help him attain the beefed-up look for the upcoming film.

Akhil took to social media to share a glimpse of his training session.

Likely to be mounted on a lavish scale, the film is rumoured to be bankrolled by Surender Reddy in association with director Krish. The yet-to-be-titled film will start rolling early next year once life gets back to normalcy.
